📝 Shelter Notes:

7/24/2026: Greets me at the front of the kennel, easy to leash, walks on a loose leash to the runs, but when coming inside freezes at the door and I have to carry her back inside.

7/27/2026: Greeted me with wiggly body, walked well on the leash. Did well in the runs, however when coming back inside dog started to pull back… did not want to come back inside. I had to get behind her and scoot her inside. Was able to place her in kennel and easily remove leash.

7/28/2026: Anna was a Move Adopt this morning and was walked on a loose leash to her new kennel in South B. Throughout the morning, she had been standing in front of the gate and watching as dogs walk pass her and would occasionally sit down with a neutral body and eyes.

7/29/2026: Anna was calm and quiet in her kennel during am feeding and cleaning. As I approached she greeted me by the kennel door with a relaxed body, wagging tail and soft smiling mouth. Walked on a loose leash heading in and out of south building while picking from trail of treats.

8/2/2026: Approaching the kennel, Anna stood in front of the kennel gate with a neutral body and eyes, and fast wagging tail. She did a good job of keeping her kennel clean overnight. Anna was walked on a loose leash and neutral to and from the outside runs. She paid little attention to other dogs as she passed by their runs and kennel. Later in the afternoon, she was walked by a volunteer and very friendly towards customers as she passed by them in the aisle.

8/3/2026: Anna stood in front of the kennel gate with a neutral body and eyes, and fast wagging tail while consistently high pitch howl towards me as I was either walking dogs or cleaning kennels. She did a good job of keeping her kennel clean overnight. Anna was walked on a loose leash and neutral to and from the outside runs. She paid little attention to other dogs as she passed by their runs and kennel.

8/6/2026: Quiet and calm in kennel. Walked slightly ahead of me with wagging tail out to runs and back for both AM and PM walks. When passing people she greeted them with wagging tail, sniffing their hands and allowing pets.

8/9/2026: Throughout most of the morning, Anna was alarm barking in front of her kennel non-stop. When a sheet was covering her kennel, she calmed down and laid down on her cot for the rest of the morning. I offered her a pig ear and her Nyla Bone for enrichment. Made into Adopt Eval.

8/10/2026: Anna was easily leashed and walked semi-loosely sometimes pulling a bit towards other dogs and sniffing them. Passing kennel, she put her front paws on the door to see me over her cover, tail wagged, sniffed toward me, ears up, and sat for treats that she took gently from my hand.

8/11/2026: Anna was easily leashed and walked loosely with neutral body.

8/12/2026: Anna greeted me at front of the kennel w a loose body, she walked on a semi-loose leash to and from the runs and she took treats from my hand going back to her kennel.

8/13/2026: Quiet in kennel, wagging tail. Semi-tight leash ahead of me out to runs and back. Quiet throughout cleaning and after opening so left uncovered during adoption hours to monitor.
